That's right everyone, it's the much antcipated return of Big Bust himself, Alex Radojevic. @ <font color="Navy"> Utah Jazz (11-15) @ Toronto Raptors (9-18) TV: Toronto (The Score), Utah (FSN) Venue: Air Canada Centre TipOff time: 7:10 PM est</font> <font color="Red">- Starting LineUps</font> <font color="Red">The Raptors: </font> Rafer Alston-Morris Peterson-Jalen Rose-Chris Bosh-Loren Woods <font color="Red">6th Man:</font> Donyell Marshall <font color="Red">Coach:</font> Sam Mitchell <font color="Red">The Jazz:</font> Carlos Arroyo-Raja Bell-Matt Harpring-Carlos Boozer-Alex 'Bust' Radohevic <font color="Red">6th Man:</font> Mehmet Okur <font color="Red">Coach:</font> Jerry Sloan ........ <font color="Red">Keys To The Game:</font> * Mo Consistencey - Morris Peterson must keep up his numbers on offence, specially now that Vince is gone, Moe can't keep playing inconsistent ball. * No Open shots, Jazz have a great shooters and they'll bury them. * Skip' can't get into one on one battle with Arroyo and start jacking three's. * I know it's very hard to do, but we havre to keep Boozer away from the glass.. .... <font color="Red">Say What?!</font> I predict a close game, however, the Raps don't have a definsive system that can slow the Jazz down, and our offence execution is terrible. Might be a clsoe game but whoever defends the ebst, wins.
ya the games tomorrow, but doesnt mean he cant post it today. anyways i think the raps can win this one and will pull a close one by 5.
man, mitchell should start eric williams to give us some defense. mo pete can provide a spark off the bench
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dj_premium_plus:</div><div class="quote_post">man, mitchell should start eric williams to give us some defense. mo pete can provide a spark off the bench</div> Keep the Zoo Crew in Place (Milt, Mo, Lamond, Bonner, Marshall). I think they should run some Iso's and plays in the early going for Bosh, so he can exploit Boozer and their bigs, just like in Utah. If he doesn't play well, and coughs the ball up too much, then we can run plays for other plays, and go with the flow. I'd like to see Rose go at Hapring this game, who's a rugged defensive player. That'll show us how Rose can fare against players with good defensive skills. Raps by 7, 97-90. Bosh scores 19 and grabs 7 Boards. Marshall burns his former team again, with 13 points and 12 boards.
I think the Raptors are going to lose this one by a bit. The Jazz are a hungry na, starving team. They are 10 of their last 13 in losses. They will be real hungry and I think the Raptors just don't have enough to stop the Jazz this time. I also think they will have to adjust to life w/o Carter. I will take the Jazz 95-91.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting dj_premium_plus:</div><div class="quote_post">man, mitchell should start eric williams to give us some defense. mo pete can provide a spark off the bench</div> I also think they should start Williams because he had gotten 20 points his last 3 games he was with New Jersey and he can actually play defense! Unlike Mo' who is overratted I think.
Raptors by 1, we're at home, that's got to help us somehow, so I hope we can take this one, we need a win Jalen isn't starting. <u>Tonights Lineup:</u> F - Eric Williams F - Chris Bosh C - Loren Woods G - Morris Peterson G - Rafer Alston Raptors 95 - Jazz 94 Rafer Alston - 12 points, 6 assists, 3 rebounds Donyell Marshall - 18 points, 9 rebounds, 1 block Chris Bosh - 16 points, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks MoPete - 15 points Carlos Boozer - 24 points, 11 rebounds Mehmet Okur - 22 points, 9 rebounds The rest of the Jazz guys will suck so we'll win, hopefully they will at least
From What I Have Heard, Sam Wants To Get Eric Comfortable With Sam's Style Of Play. In Other News.....Dorrell Wright, Wesley Person, and Udonis Haslem could all be Toronto Raptors in the near future. VERY NEAR.
50-37 raps at the half. a good start for us, Rose is leading the scoring coming off the bench with 12 and rafer has 9 assists.
Hmmm...Jalen off the bench. I don't get it, even though he's playing good tonight. Jalen is one of those players that if you make them come off the bench, they won't perform well. Mo is more suited for the role, as he is more energetic, and can bring it defensively and knock down open shots. Maybe they're experiencing a future starting-lineup, due to a possible Rose Trade? I Doubt it, but it's a possibility.

Well, the Raptors won. Over a struggling Jazz team. A win's a win, I'll take it. I didn't see the game, but was surprised to see Jalen was off the bench. I still can't wait to see Vince back in action. Oh yeah, I forgot he got traded. Damn.

This was a good game by all, im happy for eric williams being in the lineup and doing well! 11-7-5 very impressive skip coming up with 14 ASSISTS, yes thats right 14 we played very good, all around and jalen was fired up this game 2. that was kinda good. but i hope jalen will start, and mitchell can control his shot selection as was today. this is how we are to play every game!
Good game tonight and good performances by marshall, EW, and bosh along with rafer. but jalen should start while mo pete comes off the bench cause mo struggled tonight and jalen didnt really seem happy sitting, and it just seems better that way.
